Â鶹Éç

A report into cases of sexual abuse by Jimmy Savile linked to the Â鶹Éç is set to criticise the corporation's culture, according to a leaked draft.

"Deference, that’s at the core of why despite many people at the Â鶹Éç either knowing or having some idea of what Sir Jimmy Saville was up to; no-one told anyone at the top," said Mark Watts, editor of news website Exaro.

"Whistleblowing today is worse than it was at the Â鶹Éç in Savile’s time, people are even more unsure about their positions at the Â鶹Éç, there are a greater proportion that are freelance, that is something that would deter people reporting up", added Mr Watts.

A Â鶹Éç spokesman said: "The Â鶹Éç hasn't seen Dame Janet's report or any draft copy, so we're unable to comment."
